This meal is an all around pleaser in our house. All of the kids love it (although I have to remove the onions for Ava). Alex really likes it cold the next day…he gets this from his daddy because I cannot stand cold food! I began making this dish with chicken. I have recently found that …

I recently discovered that she knows all of her letter sounds from (1) listening to Alex learn and (2) watching Leapfrog Letter Factory over and over again. I can assure you #2 had more of an impact!
